Well I don't think Penhold will ever be established as Asias standard grip again, but I don't think it'll ever die out. There's so many penholders especially in amateur game and there will always be people like Xu Xin. It's surely going to be a minority, perhaps struggling, but I think there's qualified trainers which is most important. (For example I think it's much less likely for players with Defensive Game like Joo Saehyuk to develop a professional game as there's hardly any trainers available to really teach the method.)
